BREAKING: Trump signed away Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks, and replaced them with HIS OWN birthday. 🤦🏽♀️ THANK YOU, Donald, for removing any doubt we had that you're a pathetic bigot. 😠

“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

Russia failed to conquer Ukraine. So Trump is handing Putin what he couldn’t win on the battlefield. Territory. Limits on Ukraine’s military. And $300B in assets. Shameful. Dangerous. Unacceptable.

California is expanding its water supply by adding 2.9 billion gallons a year through eight major state-funded projects.
We're recycling more water, removing PFAS, upgrading wastewater systems and building new desalination for over one million Californians.
This is how we build drought resilience.
